Bought another drawer to match, bolted her up to the ply floor, all good. The latch on the left one rattles and drives me nuts, might have to take it apart.

Pivots up, held up by a space age aluminium jack handle, resting on a bolt, very sophisticated. At least it would only be the fridge and any tubs I had sitting on top that would have to come out, my WJ setup meant everything had to go.

Cheers, I can't wait to try it out. Need to get away. Haha.
It seems I can fit a whole lot of stuff in these 2 drawers, saving me the need for having the plastic tubs. I just need to use it a few times to fine tune it,. My coffee setup in the WJ was fantastic. I could have a coffee brewing in the plunger within a few minutes. Fridge is much better in the back I reckon, compared to on the backseat in the WJ. I reckon I need to make some separators to keep some stuff separate, such as coffee gear, cooking gear.

I've carried a Hi Lift jack for years as well. It was easier to use on the Wrangler than the standard jack due to the lift. It's also handy on the camper trailer.
I'm also a big believer in carrying an exhaust jack as I do most of my driving on sand, they are so quick and easy. I haven't thrown it in the back of the GC as I don't know how good it would be with dual exhausts. It's something I must try out.

My exhaust jack sadly passed away from old age, certainly the way to go, being a sand runner I now use a shovel, but really an exhaust jack is the way to go, I suppose finding something to make a larger bell hose end or possibly just a pipe to stick in the exhaust........ Haven't got stuck in the Jeep yet and aim not to.

I haven't had a good look under the Jeep yet, I know slack hey. Do the dual exhausts have a common crossover rendering the exhaust jack useless on the 3.0 or are they separate pipes? I know they're freaking hot, from leaning at the back waiting for the shopping at the click and collect.

It splits down near the diff, be interesting to see if it would inflate off one pipe....
